AWARDED 2021 TO JOSH THOMPSON | TBHS 1994-98
In classic Josh Thompson style he gracious acknowledged the Teschemaker Cup award for 2021.
In his acceptance message to the Rector he further said ‘ This is very humbling, Timaru Boys' High taught me respect, hard work and where to put an apostrophe after a plural noun so I'm very happy to receive this award.
Schedule permitting, it would be great to have a gander around the old grounds, I also lost a really good biro by the music room in 1996 so it would be worth me having another look.’
Josh has been a leading comedy actor in New Zealand for the past decade
He is best known for his work as a comedian on 7 Days, Have You Been Paying Attention, Patriot Brains and as a host on The Project
He had the lead role in the movie Gary of the Pacific and close to home directed his Dad in the award-winning web series Subject Dad

Josh is a very funny, perceptive and caring theatrical talent.
A most worthy recipient for the THSOB premier award
